Chapter 3: It's Dawn

In the darkness of the night, the moon shone cold white moonlight.

The park that turned from quiet to turbulent was like purgatory in Lin Tian's eyes.

The ants, whose size had doubled or even doubled or tripled in size, wanted to go back to the antburrow, and they returned the same way, coming to the anthill and gently exploring the hole with their antennae.

Soon, they touched familiar places.

But when they plunged headlong into the anthill, they found that their bodies were too large to get into.

They struggled to burrow their heads into the anthill, and their legs were like teeth and claws, like a cat or dog with its head stuck in a hole in the corner, trying its best to squeeze in.

But it didn't work.

The ants, who had tried several times, knew that they could not go back.

So they spread the news through their tentacles, and all the ants boiled like fryers, running in a haphazard manner.

From Lin Tian's point of view, this group of ants was buzzing and spreading around like locusts. The only difference between them and locusts is that they can't fly.

Some ants ran out of the lawn, while others crawled onto mutated weeds.

The mutant ants that crawled onto the weeds had a miserable end.

The barbs all over the weed blades are not only sharp, but also have some slight toxins.

It is said that it is a slight toxin for humans, but for ants, it is a highly toxic poison that seals their throats with blood.

The weed sensed that an aggressor had climbed up its body, and immediately reacted to stress, and the barbs on the leaves pricked out slightly, which immediately punctured the ant's body, and the toxin was released, which instantly spread to all parts of the ant's body.

Immediately afterwards, the highly poisonous ant in its body fell down with a convulsion and spasm, and died.

"Use the [Low-Level Slashing Technique]!"

Lin Tian watched a mutant ant run towards him, and as soon as it entered within ten centimeters of his body, he immediately activated his skill.

In an instant, all the ants within a radius of ten centimeters were like being struck by lightning, all their legs straightened, and their bodies instantly stiffened.

The next second, he collapsed on the soft ground like soft mud.

All the weeds in the range were also zombies in an instant, and the leaves withered and drooped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

【Ding! Slay a slightly evolved weed x7.Points +7.】

【Ding! Slay a slightly evolved ant X5.Points +5.】

【Ding! The host is detected to have earned points, and the points mall is opened. 】

As a series of system prompts sounded, the system panel in Lin Tian's mind also changed.

Host Information:

Name: Lin Tian.

Grade: Dispensable weeds.

Skill: [Low-level Slashing Skill].

Points Points: 12.

In the lower right corner of the panel, there is also a small green button with the words "Points Mall" written on it.

"Open the Marketplace."

Lin Tian couldn't wait to shout.

As soon as the picture in his mind turned, a virtual module appeared in Lin Tian's mind.

The template of the mall is similar to the graphics in many computer games, with a light blue background of science and technology.

Below are small squares arranged in an orderly manner, and an item is placed in each small square, and below the square is a text introduction.

Lin Tian looked at the grid item:

[Sleeping Powder: It can make first-level evolutionaries within a certain range enter a comatose state for one minute. Each point consumed increases the range of use by 10 centimeters. 】

[Fierce Venom Juice: Gives toxicity to the juice in the body, the poison effect can kill the first-level evolutionary body in seconds, and it has a paralyzing effect on the second-level evolutionary body, which requires the consumption of 500 points. 】

[Thrive Nutrient Solution: Permanently thickens and lengthens the host implant, consuming 10 points for every 1 cm of growth. 】

【……】

The efficacy and redemption price are clear at a glance.

"The first two are quite practical, the sleeping pill powder can prevent the first-level evolution from harming me. If I accidentally get attacked, the poisonous juice is my life-saving skill. It's just that they need too many points. ”

"As for the third ......"

Lin Tian groaned.

To put it bluntly, isn't it the effect of thickening and enlargement?

It would have been nice to have this effect in a previous life.

It's a pity......

Now I'm just a grass.

"But in general, it's not bad, when the world is generally low-level evolutionary, I already have some countermeasures for first-level or even second-level evolution."

Lin Tian knew that the evolved body was hierarchical,

Now the era of evolution has just begun, and all species have changed only slightly.

Most plants only grow barbs, and animals only change in size.

This is the least level of evolution in later generations, and is also known as a lower evolutionary body.

With the increase of the degree of evolution, the degree of evolution between living organisms will also form differences, so that they can be divided into three, six, nine and so on.

In order to make it easier to remember and distinguish, human beings divide the degree of evolutionary mutation of living organisms into nine levels, from one to nine and from low to high.

However, different species have different ways of judging rank, so there is no unified standard.

In later generations, some anthropologists specially compiled a "Atlas of Common Evolutionary Levels", which made great contributions to the survival of human beings, and thus became a key protection object in one fell swoop, with no worries about food and clothing.

Lin Tian had read that book, and he had probably written down the first five levels of most common evolutionary characteristics.

As for the later level, Lin Tian didn't look at it anymore, because it was not something he could touch, and once he came into contact, there was only a dead end.

There aren't many things in the mall, just those three.

Further down are thousands of gray locked lattices, which should not have been unsealed yet.

Further down, there are three progress bars.

[Evolution Value: 7/1000.] Next form: Resilient weeds. 】

[Skill Upgrade: 7/1000. After accumulating, you can upgrade the 'Low-level Slashing Skill' to the 'First-level Slashing Skill'.] 】

[Unlock the secondary mall: 7/10000.] 】

"It's all 7......"

"It seems that the system for earning these advancements is the same as earning points, and you have to earn them by killing evolutions."

Lin Tian drew inferences from one case and figured out the general function of the system.

Then the rest will be easy to do.

Just do it!!

Although all the weeds around have withered and withered, several ants have died.

But this does not prevent other ants from passing by.

Moreover......

Can the other ants not be curious when they see their companions fall down inexplicably?

So one by one, the ants tentatively groped their way over and touched the corpses of their companions with their antennae.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, why did you lie down all of a sudden?"

Of course, Lin Tian couldn't hear the conversation between the ants, which he made up in his brain.

Looking at the ants that came one by one, Lin Tian smiled at his aunt.

He didn't rush to make a move, and when there were more and more ants approaching him, Lin Tian immediately launched the slashing skill.

"Ding! Bite! Ding......"

There was a series of crisp sounds in his mind, and as the ants fell limply, Lin Tian once again harvested a large amount of points.

This scene keeps repeating itself.

……

Early the next morning,

As the first rays of sunlight shone down, Lin Tian's vision brightened.

As far as the eye can see, there are many corpses of ants and insects next to the barbed weeds, which have been poisoned or pricked to death by barbs.

The flowers in the flower bed next to it are all beautiful.

However, this flower seems to be bright, but it has a hidden murderous intention, and it can devour the insects that crawl on its petals overnight.

Lin Tian's side was even more exaggerated, there were dense ant corpses all over the ten centimeters, and there was an extra-large mosquito.

That's his record in three hours.

It's just that the insects and ants were frightened by the surrounding scene, and they didn't dare to approach.

Lin Tianmei looked at the value on the system panel: 169.

The three progress bars and the points have all reached 169, which is a pretty good start.

Looking up at the sky, the early morning sun illuminates the park very brightly.

"Well, it's dawn, it's time for humanity to face disaster......"
